Please reconsider forking httprouter

[eclipseo]

Back in 3dbb9c0 you decided to fork julienschmidt/httprouter to influxdata/httprouter . I'd like you to reconsider forking project like this and move your changes upstream as much as possible. This fork will likely not be taken care off and will be cut from upstream updates and potential security fixes.

You already have forked this project before and it was never updated anymore: github.com/bouk/httprouter

So now you have 2 forks of the same project to add a single feature, which will never benefit from upstream updates.

@eclipseo thanks for the issue. @GeorgeMac what do you think? Was there a specific reason for the fork?

Thanks @eclipseo and @russorat !
I will get this on my radar as support for what we needed got merged into julienschmidt/httprouter#286
It is slightly different shape to our fork, but solves the same problem. So I just need to do a bit of work to get the upstream change integrated.
